It has been a very long time since we last had so much focus on residential builders, with the housing crisis front and centre in the media and with our politicians.
Almost everyone has someone they know who has been impacted by the lack of housing of all types. As a community, this is our greatest challenge. The residential construction industry is up for the task, but we just need the right settings in place.
We need land ready to build on, an available skilled workforce and policy and planning rules that are geared to facilitate the rapid roll-out of new homes. But for now, let's concentrate on the holiday season ahead.
As we come to the end of 2025, I want to extend my thanks to all of our members, partners and industry colleagues for making this such a strong and memorable year for HIA South Australia. From our major events and awards programs, to the everyday wins that happen across our industry, your commitment and collaboration continue to shape a vibrant and resilient residential building community.
Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas and a safe and Happy New Year. We look forward to welcoming you back in 2026.

Infrastructure funding must drive new housing supply in Queensland
The Housing Industry Association (HIA) welcomes the Queensland Government’s continued investment in enabling infrastructure through Round 2 of the $2 billion Residential Activation Fund, but the funding must be tightly targeted to ensure it genuinely delivers new housing supply,” HIA Executive Director Queensland, Michael Roberts, said today.
Lifting taxes wont get more homes built
The Housing Industry Association (HIA) will be sending a simple message to the inquiry into Capital Gains Tax (CGT) on residential property when it appears before the Select Committee on the Operation of the Capital Gains Tax Discount tomorrow – if you tax something more, you will get less of it.
